Skyrim Werewolf Perks: How to Improve Your Beast Form on Xbox

There's no dedicated werewolf perk tree in Skyrim—you can't spend perk points specifically on beast form abilities. However, you can significantly enhance your werewolf's effectiveness through general character progression.

Indirect Ways to Buff Your Werewolf

• Weapon skills (One-Handed, Two-Handed): Increase physical damage, which carries over to werewolf claw attacks.
• Smithing & Enchanting: Craft and improve gear with damage-boosting enchantments (e.g., Fortify One-Handed, Fortify Unarmed via mods/glitches) that remain active in beast form.
• Shouts: Become Ethereal grants temporary invulnerability—invaluable for a melee-only form with no blocking.
• Heavy Armor (conditioning perk): Removes weight penalty, letting you wear heavy armor without stamina drain—though it won't visually appear in werewolf form, the armor rating still applies.

Becoming a Werewolf (If You Haven't Yet)

1. Join the Companions in Whiterun.
2. Complete their questline until "The Silver Hand."
3. Enter the Underforge and accept the Curse of the Werewolf.
4. Transform with the Beast Form power (default: wait 24 hours, then press the shout/power button).

While you can't specialize exclusively in lycanthropy, a well-built combat character makes for a devastating werewolf.
